Three U.S. Patents related to memory storage granted to StorTrends

StorTrends, the data storage division of American Megatrends (AMI) is granted with three U.S. Patents related to memory storage technology. Below are details of patents shared by AMI: AMI was granted U.S. Patent No. 8,954,339 on Data Deduplication for Information Storage Systems, which was filed on April 18, 2012. This awarded patent covers the means to have deduplication run at optimal and efficient space-saving levels. Specifically, it optimizes the amount of system RAM space used in the system to reduce (or dedupe) terabytes worth of data without affecting performance. In terms of customer benefit, this greatly reduces the amount of SSD capacity that a company is required to purchase within the SAN while also delivering the lowest latency in the industry to significantly increase value and response times within an IT environment. “Deduplication and compression have become critical features for all-flash storage arrays,” said Sukha Ghosh, Vice President of Engineering for the StorTrends Data Storage Division. “Without deduplication and compression, the SSDs are too small from a capacity perspective, and they are still too expensive to scale out for many customers. StorTrends has worked extremely hard to implement the industry’s best deduplication and compression engine within StorTrends’ All-Flash Array family.” AMI was granted the second patent — U.S. Patent No. 8,...
